Pat McAfee has worked with WWE since 2018 when he was a pre-show analyst for NXT TakeOver events. He has progressed through the WWE system, working matches in NXT before joining the WWE main roster commentary team and wrestling at WrestleMania.
Along with his work in WWE, McAfee hosts his daily radio show and is part of other ESPN programming including ESPN College GameDay.
Speaking to Rich Eisen on the Rich Eisen Show, Seth Rollins had praise for McAfee.
“Pat [McAfee], he’s a wild man, dude. He’s just nuts. He’s just a crazy person. I just popped onto this show earlier today. How do people feel about Pat McAfee? Because he’s like an outsider, sort of, right? Do we love him? Do we hate him? He’s such a trailblazer, right, and even in WWE, here’s the thing, Pat, he loves wrestling. He didn’t come in and be like, ‘I’m Pat McAfee, put me on Monday Night Raw. I want to be a big star.’ He started in NXT, which is our developmental brand as a commentator there because he wanted to work his way up. He wanted to cut his teeth, do the broadcasting thing, ended up having matches. He was very good, he’s a natural. One thing about Pat I think people don’t understand, regular people, he’s a hustler, dude. He works his tail off. There’s something about him, man. He’s a special cat," said Rollins.
McAfee is currently a commentator on WWE Raw.
Fightful has coverage of WWE Raw every Monday beginning at 8 p.m. ET followed by a post-show review podcast on our YouTube channel.
